1, The white Lotus.
2, Brown Aston from TLD (one of my favourite films)
3, 750i from TND.I know it's a BMW but the gadgets are great.
Hope you post your favourites.{[]

After the DB5, my big favourite's are the Lotus Esprit and the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. While they don't match the classic design of the DB5 they still look very sleek. The combined gadgets in the Lotus Esprit are just about the most impressive, or implausible, of all Bond's cars depending on your point of view, but I love them. For me, the invisibility of the Vanquish was perhaps stretching credibility a little too far. That's one car I did not wan't to Vanquish out of sight.
The Lotus from TSWLM. Extra points if Anya Amasova is in the passenger seat.

the BMWs sum up brosnan. bland and unexciting. the silver one in World was the best effort though - as was the film itself.
But my favourite 'non-Q' car of all was the Alfa Romeo GTV that Bond stole in Octopussy and had a good little chase with the Polezei in their 5-series BMWs

I would say that my favs are:
1 DB8 from TLD
2 DBS from CR
3 Lotus from FYEO

1) DBS from OHMSS
2) Lotus Esprit from TSWLM
3) Ford Mondeo from CR
just kidding...my third would be between the V12 Vanquish (minus the invisibility) the Chevrolet Impala from LALD or the Mustang Mach 1 Coupe from DAF. In fact, just because I love the Mach 1 so much I will make that my third favorite. I will definitely own one of those some day. I had the chance to buy one but passed up on it because the body wasn't cherry. Oh well, I went on to buy a sweet as truck and I love it. Good times.

It's called an auto rickshaw.
What about the Bentley in FRWL, with Silvia Trench in the back seat.
Now that is a fully equipped vehicle! -{
Bond’s Beretta
The Handguns of Ian Fleming's James Bond
Connery's Bentley outside Shrublands in NSNA is choice.
BTW- I've been a Bond fan for nearly 30 years, but it goes to show you never run out of stuff to learn- all these years I thought the Aston in OHMSS was a DB6, not a DBS- now I know better! Thank you, all.
Cheers! -{

(We would perhaps read in the off-topic area of some other forum about those obscure James Bond films that had been made in the early sixties: "Yeah, I think I remember one of the films. There was an Aston Martin - in pursuit it could change its headlight pattern - clever idea! The actor, John Canary or so, was not too bad but I don't know if he did any other films. I don't think that these Bond films have ever been released on DVD."
That said I think that the DB5 is a classic - but it is not a *timeless* classic. In fact it looked quite dated when it was brand new, when compared to the Mustang in the same film. In essence this is a late-fifties design with small tail fins and a too long rear overhang. The 1969 DBS or the TLD V8 coupe are far cleaner, better aging designs, and both are among my favourite cars.
But the most beautiful and most timeless of all Bond cars (it still looks futuristic) is the Lotus Esprit. Of course the submarine transformation will be forever remembered, just like the ejector seat, even from non-007 fans.
However, I would prefer the turbo version from FYEO. White suits the car better IMO but the bronze one isn't too shabby either.
The DAF Mustang Mach 1 is also a favourite. Long and low with the flat rear window I find the 1971-72 models to be the most attractive of the first-generation Mustangs.
really other than the db5 its got to be the lotus espirit fron tswlm, whith or without submarine options..:)):)):))
1. First has to be the DB5 which was used in Goldfinger ("ejector seat, your must be joking?") TB,GE,TND and CR which is THE definitive Bond car.
2. DB5, beautiful car (CR and QoS)
3. Vanquish (DAD, the invisibility part is stupid but that is the writers fault and not the car makers)
The only non Aston Martins worth mentioning for me are the Lotus in TSWLM and the Bentley in Dr No and FRWL.
So, for me there is no other James Bond car. I did see one- a real one- for sale last year at £80K and caught myself thinking if I gave up eating, sold the kids...
and third place would be another Aston....
The DBS from CR. -{
